Meet Abby's Owl

This is Abby's Owl...

And this is Abby!

My daughter decorated the nursery with some cute owl decals, and wanted to keep the theme going, so I designed this owl applique for a crib size quilt that she will hang on the wall (the overall quilt  measures 48" x 54"). 

But first it will hang in the Quiltwoman.com booth at Quilt Market in October because it's my newest pattern!  I'm so excited about it, I made it with Summer Song fabric from Riley Blake designs so it's very bright and happy ~ and yellow is my very favorite color!

[And you know, because I'm shameless,  I have to fit in at least one more picture of my little sweeties ~ Like a good big sister, Elsie is telling Abby to look at the camera]

Anyway, because when Elsie was a baby I made her a small crib quilt with a coordinating larger quilt that they like to lay and play on (more on that it this older post), I knew I wanted to make a larger coordinating quilt for Abby too.

So this is Abby's Stars!  It measures 76" x 76".  The pieced stars are the same style in each quilt, and by using the same fabric line, it coordinates nicely with the smaller Abby's Owl, and will fit on a regular bed to make a nice comprehensive set to decorate a child's room.  I love the large polka dot in this fabric collection :) Both of these quilts were beautifully quilted by my friend Mary of Keep Me In Quilts.

And the best news is that Abby's Stars is included as a bonus in the Abby's Owl pattern ~ so that's two quilts in one pattern!  It's available for purchase now at Quiltwoman or at Spring Water Designs :)
